AMONG other relics of the Mound
Builders discovered near Devils Lake,
D. T., by Prof. Montgomery, of the
North Dakota University, is what he
calls sacrifcial mound in which, seven
teen inches from the surface, are wells.
easily found because of a lining of lime
about the sides and layers of bark on
the bottom. These are deep enough to
hold bodies in sitting posture.

TRUE glory takes root, and even

counterfeit last long.-Cicer0.

Rev. Whangdoodle Lectures on Fools.

Berlubbed Awjience-Ef I waster
describe de differunt kinds oh fools Oar
am in dis heah town hit would take me
morn week. We has only got time
ter deal wild few, and eff all de fools
wore white caps dis heah world would
look like one big goose rancho.
l has alters noticed no matter how
big q fool man may be he can alters
find bigger fool to admire and en-
courage him in his foolishness.
A fool may be described as man
who keeps on maxim de same blunders
ODER and ober widout KNOWN it. Ebery-
body am lierable ter make blunders,
but de man what's got sense don't foller
hit as regular bizness.
De serciety young man who goes by
de name OF dood am not classified wild
de reglar fools. He don't berlong ter
de human family. Oars mighty little
difference between dood and q munkey,
and what difference dar is am in favor
oh de munkey.
Den dar's de talkative fool. De man
who am sittin' in de mos darkess
ginerally does de mos talkin'. De
fraugs quit croakin' when light ann
brought ter de water side. A bad cole
must be awful lonesome in de head OBJ
q man who talks too much; leastways
dat's what Opie Reid says.
No remidy has been diskivered ter
cure a fool. Fish has been suggested
for brain food, but brains amt fed inter
a man. Dey am horned in him. Yer
can't measure mans brains by de size
OBJ his head no noah den you kin meas
ure his elerquence by de size OBJ his,
mouf.
Fine close don't help fool, dey only
make his foolishness more conspicuous.
Lots OBJ ambishun and too few brains
am whit ais most fools.
De man who laffs at eberyding and
de man who frets at eberyding am
fools, but OBJ differunt kinds.-Teras

prrrE HARTE, who was for some
-oo,s United States Consul at Glasgow,
i very unpopular among the people of
that city, owing to his unsocial dis
position.

The object of a company recently or
ganized at Owensboro, KY, with cap
ital stock of $25O,OOO. is the manufac-
ture of machinery for the purpose of
aging and purifying whisky after pro-
cess recently discovered. The ma
chine, as shown by recent test, takes
whisky as it comes from the worm and
imparts to it all the characteristics of
liquor four years old, eliminating the
corn and fusil oils as perfectly as could
be done by time and atmospheric in
fiuences, and removing all impurities
of whatever nature. The method by
which this is accomplished is that the
whisky is atomized by the machine,
and while in that condition it is SUBJ
jected to an enormous pressure by
means of compressed air, through which
the atomized whisky is passed.

"HE who goeth into his garden to:
look for spiders and cobwebs will
doubtless find them; but he who goeth
to seek flower may return to his
house with one blooming in his bosom.
The heart of the ungrateful is like
the desert, which absorbs the rain and
produces nothing.

THERE is something curious about
the silver dollar and half dollars of the
coinage of 1904. In that year some
thing like 10000 of the dollars were
coined; but it is singular fact, as is
now known, that not one of them was
! in circulation. Yet the most valuable
: Of all American coins are two 1904 dol
lars, which are now in well-known col
lections. They are valued at $4,000
each.
The news that the pope has asked
the propaganda to tender forthwith for
the contract of civilizing the black
| fellows of New South Wales, which is
at present in the market, the contract
price being 100000 acres of land, re-
minds us once more how smart man is
now in charge Of the Catholic Church.
Ii the Trappists make success of the
aborigines they will deserve their 300,-
| 900 acres and more besides.

Mrs. Allen Cushing, who, with her hus-
band, has been engaged in missionary
work in Burmah for many years, in ad-
dressing the Foreign Missionary Union at
the anniversary meeting, told the follow
ing incident of life in that wild coun-
try: "We had been travelling through
the country away from any settlement for
several days" she said, ''and one after
noon, when it was unadvisable to pro-
ceed further that day, feeling very tired
l threw a blanket upon a pile of dead
leaves and lay down to have a quiet nap.
had hardly closed my eyes when, feeling
something crawling on me, l looked TO
find with horror that it was a deadly
brown adder. The reptile was nearly five
feet long and he was sliding slowly across
me. To move or cry out would have been
instant death, so | determined to lie per-
fectly still and pretend to be without life.
Closing my eyes and holding my breath
waited until the adder crawled slowly
along and over my face. His cold, Shiny
body in touching my face produced such
sensation that 1t was nearly more than
could do to remain passive, but | man
aged to do so until the reptile had gotten
away some distance, and then | jumped
up and screamed Just like a woman. The
coolies and my husband ran TO my assist
ance, and when they stirred up the
leaves on which | had made my bed ad-
ders came squirming out in all directions.
1t seems that | had laid myself directly
on nest Of them. "-PhjladelPhia Bulle-

40 Elephants Captured at Once.

Mr.. Sanderson, Superintendent Of
Government Kheddahs, succeeded on the
!4th in capturing an immense herd of
elephants, numbering no fewer than 140
This is the largest capture on record, and
represents, it is estimated, about a lakh
of rupees. The scene of the capture is
only six miles from the Tura headquar-
ters station Of the Caro- hills The stock
ade in which the elephants are enclosed
is immensely strong, but is being further
strengthened against pressure of so many
powerful animals by being packed up
with powerful timber supports, while an
extra stockade is being prepared into
which some Of the elephants may be adj
mitted before the tying up process with
tame elephants commences.
The main stockade is literally tightly
packed with elephants of all sizes.
Colonel Graham Smith, Commissary-
General, who is paying an official visit to
the Kheddahs, was, with Mrs, Graham
Smith, fortunate enough 10 be present at
this most exciting capture, and 70 wit
ness a scene uuequaled in Kheddah
operations. Unfortunately, during the
drive, one elephant, breaking back. es-
capped, and in doing so killed one Of the
hunters. CaLcutta Est0listmaH.

SOLITUDE.

Not in the deepest tangles Of the wood,
The turtles haunt, the timid squirrels lair;
Not on the ocean beaches, rough and bare
With never-ending battles, unsubdued
In war Of winds and waters hoar and rude;
Not in the mountain passes, where the air
Sobs low, and life is like a long despair
Thy home is not in these, o Soltudel
But in the busy concourse, long and loud,
Where not one pulse Of human sympathy
Beats through the grasping spirits of the
crowd
Where each is rapt in snatching greedly
His brothers portion-'neath a shallow
shroud,
We know thy truest haunt and weep for
thee

A German chemist has invented new
ikind of aesthetic bullet, which he urges
will, if brought into general use, greatly
let is of brittle substance, breaking di-
rectly when it comes in contact with the
object at which it is aimed. 1t contains
powerful anesthetic, producing instan-
taneously complete insensibility, lasting
for twelve hours, which, except that the
action of the heart continues, is not to be
distinguished from death. While in this
condition, the German chemist points out,
the bodies may be packed in ambulance
wagons and carried off as prisoners.
